Pros

People are nice. Benefits were good.

Cons

Upper management seems to be clueless and repeatedly engaged in George Constanza like schemes to entice employees into doing free work to "improve the company". The real problem was that management clearly didn't understand the difference between flashy and useful. So, useless activities that looked impressive was prioritized over actually useful improvements.

Thank you for such a thoughtful and balanced review - it’s great to hear that the changes we’ve made are landing well and helping to create a more collaborative, focused environment. We know there’s still work to do when it comes to enablement and tooling, and your feedback is a helpful reminder of where to keep investing our energy. The progress we’ve made in onboarding and strengthening the North American team has been a real bright spot, and it's brilliant to hear that reflected in your experience. We really appreciate your belief in the direction we’re heading - and we’re glad to have you on the journey.

Pros

Remote work. Occasional trips to Ireland.

Cons

No employee review process or diversity in leadership. Will fire you without any notice or PIP. Toxic Management and nepotism.
